On the other hand, don't lock your users up because of perceived notions of end-user privacy and security. (See for example how badly a certain famous browser named after a metal blocked adblockers)
Not disagreeing with you at all, I'm all for strict TLS defaults, just ranting about the fact that so many restrictions meant for control and domination are marketed as "security", it hurts the public support of actual security. Many people I've read online cannot distinguish Google's push of secure TLS and Google's push of artificial control, one decided to run the website on plaintext HTTP diehardly. And many others still see ALL hardware security modules as evil DRM / mandatory code-signing scheme. How unfortunate it is, even more unfortunate is that their estimation has a better chance to be correct.
